GOING GLOBAL
Entrepreneur magazine|December 2022
Diversification is a well-known principle in investment world. Investment across different asset classes help create large corpus by reducing portfolio risk. But it is not just limited to asset classes alone. Apart from asset diversification, geographical diversification is also an important aspect of modern investing. The good news is in the last couple of years, international investing has got a lot of traction. The statistics prove that.

GOING GLOBAL

In 2021-22, the outward remittance under Liberalised Remittance Scheme for 'investment in equity and debt' by Indian citizens went up to $746.57 million from $195.45 million in 2014-15. Similarly, investment in property went up to $112.9 million from $45.54 million during the same period. "Diversification, both geographically and from a currency perspective does make sense from an asset allocation standpoint," says Lakshmi Iyer, CEO, Kotak Investment Advisors.

Agrees Pritam Patnaik, Head - Commodities, HNI & NRI Acquisitions, Axis Securities "Global investment helps to divide your risks between multiple markets (India and the US). Additionally, it provides exposure to various companies and industries currently missing in India, such as Artificial intelligence, CRISPR, etc."

But when it comes to investing abroad, the US markets march ahead. They are popular mainly on account of two things: One they have a large market size. In March 2022, the Indian stock market had a market cap of $3.21 trillion, while the market cap of the US stood at a whopping $47.32 trillion. Second is the liquidity: The US markets are much more liquid than the Indian markets. This means that it is easier to buy and sell stocks in the US market as there is always someone willing to trade.

My Reflections 2024-25

With the turn of 2024, we have turned the page to a historical moment—a quarter of a century. It is striking to consider how much history has been compressed into these 25 years. This has been no ordinary span of time. This has been an era of tectonic shifts. From the dawn of the digital age and the globalisation of economies to the climate reckoning and the relentless march of artificial intelligence, these years have witnessed transformations that once would have taken centuries to unfold. In many ways, eras have collided, overlapped, and dissolved into each other, leaving a world forever altered—more connected yet divided, more advanced yet anxious, and more hopeful yet uncertain than ever before.

The $20 Bill That Became Priceless

As I built my snack-food brand, Sun & Swell Foods, I kept hearing the same advice: Hustle for your customers. Never turn down business. Obsessively focus on ROI. So that's what I did—and although my company grew, it wasn't profitable. This began affecting me emotionally. I love my brand and care deeply about its success. Its challenges started to feel like my own.
